Uncommon presentations of neurocysticercosis

Journal of the Neurological Sciences

Abstract

Neurocysticercosis commonly presents with seizures, raised intracranial tension and dementia. The unusual location of the cysts may result in uncommon manifestations mimicking a host of neurological disorders. Ten patients with neurocysticercosis with rare clinical presentations have been described in this series. These include dorsal midbrain syndrome, isolated bilateral ptosis, papillitis, cerebral hemorrhage, painful cervical radiculopathy, progressive swelling of arm, paraplegia due to intramedullary cyst, third ventricular cyst, dystonia and nominal aphasia masquerading as transient ischaemic attacks. The clinical details and possible mechanisms for these rare presentations are discussed.
